Customs and etiquette in Chinese dining are the traditional manners and styles used for eating in the region of China.Compared to Western dining,there are many customs and protocols observed.These apply to almost all aspects of dining,from guest seating to paying the bill.
There are many eating manners that one must pay attention to which date from the time of ancient China,such as how to sit in a banquet or the layout of the place settings.Etiquette governs much of one's conduct at the table.Some rules were out of courtesy and identity,and were called by ancient Chinese "respect for manners"; some others were traditional; and some only concerned the behaviors of certain groups of people (especially women) and were actually not necessary.Whatever their origin,these rules show ancient China's dietary habits and food culture,and some of them are still followed in modern Chinese life.Compliance with these rules sometimes signals a person's status,culture,and family education to others.Because the custom of using banquets to solve problems in business,for friendship,and even in officialdom by the Chinese people,one should pay attention to manners at the table and especially to the Chinese eating taboos.
Both square and rectangular tables are used for small groups of people.When large groups are dining,particularly in restaurants,round tables are common.Because dishes are communal in Chinese dining,large tables make reaching food difficult.For this reason,the Lazy Susan is a common feature.
A basic place setting consists of a small teacup,a large plate with a small,empty rice bowl in the centre,a set of chopsticks on the right hand side of the table,and a spoon.More elaborate place settings may include a chopstick holder,a water- or red wine style glass,and a small baijiu glass.
At each place setting,a cloth napkin may be present.It is ordinarily placed under the place setting,diagonally,so that it appears as a diamond shape to the diner.Unlike formal Western dinners,a cloth napkin is not placed on the lap.Instead,whether provided by the hosts or waitress,or already present,folded at the place setting,it is to be placed with one corner under the large plate of the place setting,and the rest hanging down diagonally over the edge of the table,and partially onto the lap of the diner.
Also present on the table,for communal usage,are toothpicks,and paper napkins.It is polite,when taking a napkin for oneself,to provide one to guests seated next to you.
